Ugandan president signs antigay billSummaryLast month, the Ugandan president signed a law that opposed homosexual relations, such relations were to be punished by 14 years in prison. But if he is a repeat offender, he could spend the rest of his life in prison if he was a minor offender (this includes relationships with a minor, disabled person or one of whom partner is HIV positive). This bill was first proposed in 2009, but President Yoweri Museveni had doubts; This mainly concerns the lack of information about homosexuality. President Museveni was seeking scientific information that could support the “homosexuality gene” theory. But also the pressure exerted by Western countries on the nation, and this is due to the fact that the United States and Canada are among the countries that help the development of the country, and by signing this bill the nation will face to a loss. with the help of this country. However, with theories disproven and conservative parties concerned about the increase in same-sex couples, the President observed that he could no longer delay the bill and had to make a decision. On February 14, he signed the bill approving sanctions against homosexuals and opening, according to experts, the door to discrimination based on people's sexual orientation. OpinionAfrica is a continent that is finding its place in the world. It has not developed as much as the rest of the world, that is linked to that; their history, the fact that the continent was used as a place to obtain all kinds of natural resources and, unfortunately, slaves. But over time, Uganda has managed to evolve. Globalization has an impact on many countries; there had been positive and negative outcomes related to int...... middle of paper......the idealistic idea of ​​everyone seeking true love. But simply because the world has changed, centuries ago the Greeks believed that perfection resided in the male body, that man was a perfect culture and that relationships between two men were acceptable. Then times changed and homosexuals were persecuted and forced into hiding. Today, times are changing again, but the world is currently divided between tolerance and discrimination. While African culture believes that people should control their impulses and live "normal" lives, Western culture believes in equality and acceptance of things that we cannot control or change. I believe this "anti-gay" law is not a solution to a problem, it is just a legal way to accept discrimination against a subculture, to allow people to be bullied, violent acts against them and not being able to have freedom. to choose their partners.
